Compiler errors

Dear all,

Why this program, cannot compile?

Compiling...

{
printf("%d\t", matrix[i][j]);
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}[/code]

The program can't compile because there are syntax errors.

#include <iostream.h> : Deprecated. Use <iostream> instead. If you don't understand why, then whatever resource you used to learn C++ is outdated. Get C++ Primer by Lippman, Accelerated C++ by Koenig, or another recognized and well recommended book.

Of course, you never use anything within iostream. Interestingly, this looks like an attempt at taking some C code and patching it as C++. Because you use srand (without the appropriate header). The same goes for printf, which is in cstdio in C++. But why use printf if you include <iostream>.

You have aroused my suspicions, so I think you'll want to explain what is going on here.

I have done acoretion, but still have error...anybody can tell me to correct its.?

[code=c]
int main ()
{

const int COL = 3;
const int ROW = 3;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]);
{
int i;
// etc.
[/code]

What are you trying to accomplish here?

kind regards,

Jos
